I look forward to Hetherington offering season tickets @ £60 in a few years in a desperate bid to up the crowds at HQ. I might even buy one at that price ![]()
When did it all go right for you? You used to be such an enthusiastic, believist Rhinos season ticket holder. When they were first offered, you were first in the queue lining up for a spankingly expensive and brand new Carnegie Stand seat with the excellent view of the setting sun

So that would explain your poor support then. |

As you've already acknowledged you're a fan who follows your team through thick and thin, did you attend the two Shuddersfield home fixtures at Bramall Lane?

Firstly you seem to be the only club in the league who insist of chanting the name of your old ground for some inexplicable reason. You don’t here Hull chanting ‘Boulevard’ or Wigan bleating on about Central Park now do you?
Secondly Huddersfield was the birth place of the Northern Union and not Rugby League. The Northern Union evolved into Rugby League over a number of years.
Sorry to burst your bubble matey.

And you can't tell me you have been doing the job in conceeding 76 points in last 2 outings?
Still you may prove us all wrong like last year, oh no wait a minute............. ![]()
We'll be jogging on past you at Cutty Sark while you're leaning over the barrier puking your guts up and wishing you'd never worn that tweety pie outfit.

Technically it was first played at Rugby School hence the name 'Rugby football' - Rugby League evolved from the game played at the school in mid 19th century and hasn't really got a 'birth place' as such.
Just because the bald muppet from Sky decided to fill the basement of the George Hotel with Rugby League memorabilia doesn't make it the birth place of anything. |
